10 years, as long as the steel of the heaters doesn’t rust.
Home solar water heaters have a lifespan of 15-20 years. They also deliver more amount of water at higher temperature than regular water heaters because they can heat up to 80 gallons more water.
You can also use a solar heater along with your regular heater and increase the lifespan of both units.
Solar water heaters are the most scientific as well as developed way to heat water. The electric heaters are outdated and the solar water heaters will soon be taking their places, no doubt. And why not? It helps us not only in reducing our electricity bill, but at the same time, it helps us in giving our part to save our environment and surrounding.
